When I grow up, I wanna be...

    So, my blog is about my fear in the face of adulthood...I've recently graduated and am at a complete loss as to what I want to do with my life. I spent six years studying law and the only thing I learnt was that I don't want to be a lawyer, time and money well spent, no?

    My question, therefore, is what was your childhood dream, your adolescent ambition, and how has it matched up to what you're doing now?

    I wanted to be onstage or become a writer, and now I'm a Graphic Designer. Still creative, but I'm waiting for my writing ship to come pick me up! =)

    I've always wanted to write a book (like all those other thousands eh?!), I'm one step closer writing a blog and getting past writers block. I've also always wanted to work in advertising - I'm about to graduate so lets hope it happens...

    I wanted adventure. Got it.
    I wanted to travel. Did it.
    I wanted to be a writer. Did it.
    I wanted to be a poet. Did it.
    I wanted a farm. Have it.
    I wanted an interesting life. Have it.
    I wanted someone to share it. Have them.

    So, I might be an old curmudgeon, but I'm a fairly happy one!

    Any childhood dreams left to achieve? I'd like to make a difference and I'm still working on that.

    I'd like to get involved in horse racing - but mostly from a rescue standpoint. Take a bunch of forgotten ones that are destined for slaughter and let 'em live out a life of happiness. I'd also like to find a Kentucky Derby winner, don't get me wrong, but my feeling is that if I get enough money to care for one, it's going to be one that needs the help first.

    Six years studying to be a lawyer is a very long time. I assume that was night school. Law school and Law Job are two very different things, so don't be certain you don't wish to be a lawyer. After all, there are all sorts of lawyers -- you can help people draft wills, you can help people draft contracts, you can help people acquire businesses. You can work any number of government jobs as well!

    Personally, I always wanted to be a lawyer. Luckily, that's what I ended up doing with my life. As there are so many different types of "lawyer" there are bound to be many jobs any "lawyer" hates. It is just a matter of finding the one you like.
